On iOS it's still a userspace client, as I understand it, and the additional battery drain was very noticeable for me.

I noticed a HUGE battery drain with other VPN clients like PIA's app or just OpenTunnel, but either my 3 year old iPhone X has a great battery, or the battery drain from WireGuard has been unnoticeable for me.

1 year old iphone 8 here and Wireguard was noticeable (vs no VPN). I did not try other VPNs.

I use an iPhone SE for work with a WireGuard VPN, no noticeable drain (beyond that battery life is generally pretty bad compared to my Android, even when WiFi/data/bluetooth/gps are turned off).
